I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

10 miles today, out to the canal and along it, then home and around the neighborhood. First 4 were at 7:22 pace, then next 3 were at 6:50. Mile 8 was in 6:20. The 8 miles felt tiring but good, and I'm glad to see I can pull a sub-6:30 out. The final 2 miles were very slow (~8:30 pace) pushing the kid in the jogging stroller as a cool down.

Finished by playing a few hours of basketball- good speedwork and very tiring.

15 miles at a somewhat easy pace, from start of the canal up the canyon to Guinivah Malibu campground. I felt pretty crappy the first 4 miles, but then felt better the rest of the way. I could feel that I was somewhat dehydrated and hungry, but it was a great run. I love running in the mountains, especially when there is some slop, snow, and mud, and it was nice to run in a group (Paul, Dan, James, and Cody). This run should help a lot with the Relay del Sol, since it was longer than all my legs combined. Good day.
